Ivanka Trump was challenged to rectify her father’s 2004 statement that pregnancy was an “inconvenience for a business” with his newly unveiled family leave plan in a contentious interview with Cosmopolitan Wednesday.

Donald Trump, with Ivanka by his side, unveiled the plan Tuesday, elaborating on his proposal to make child-care tax deductible for individuals making up to $250,000 annually and adding a new component: six weeks of paid family leave for expectant mothers. Trump has touted Ivanka, herself a mother of three, as one of the chief architects behind the plan.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign released additional medical information Wednesday, including more details on the Democratic presidential nominees latest bout of pneumonia.

A Clinton campaign official said the 68-year-old former secretary of state received a non-contrast chest CT scan on Friday that revealed a mild, non-contagious form of bacterial pneumonia. She was treated with Levaquin, an antibiotic, and advised to take it for 10 days.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a retired four-star general who served under three Republican presidents, slammed GOP nominee Donald Trump as a “a national disgrace” and an “international pariah,” according to his personal emails seen by BuzzFeed News.

The remarks came in a June 17, 2016, email to Emily Miller, a journalist who was once Powell’s aide. In that same email Powell also said Trump “is in the process of destroying himself, no need for Dems to attack him. [Speaker of the House] Paul Ryan is calibrating his position again.”

Police say they arrested five people at Trump's night rally Monday in Asheville, and as of publishing have warrants out for two more people.

Police plan to arrest Richard Campbell of Edisto Island, South Carolina for assault on a female.  That female is 69-year-old Shirley Teter.

She has protested her whole life, she said. Now she adds Donald Trump's campaign to the list of things she's protested against.

A small crowd of protesters gathered outside the Trump International Hotel on Monday morning, chanting “No Trump! No KKK! No racist USA!” A banner read: “Immigrants and Muslims are welcome here. Trump Hotel is NOT!” The luxury hotel isn’t slated to have its grand opening until October, but Monday’s soft opening showed it’s already become a target for protest against Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

Both the timing of the hotel’s debut and its address seem fitting. The property is situated in between the White House and the U.S. Capitol on Pennsylvania Avenue. Its location ensures Trump will have a highly visible presence in the nation’s capital no matter what happens in November. But win or lose, the election could have unintended consequences for Trump’s business ventures, including his new hotel.

Since NBC’s Matt Lauer received widespread criticism for failing to fact-check Donald Trump at Wednesday night’s presidential forum, members of the public and press have been urging moderators for the upcoming debates to do better.

If the GOP nominee lies about being a vocal opponent of the Iraq War, as he did Wednesday and throughout the 2016 campaign, for instance, he should be called out.
